Hal,
...here's the 'formula':
'official' capacity of tank in cubic feet @ 'actual' psi in tank as measured by
'official' max psi stamped on side of tank (multiplied by) your pressure guage
...take that number and divide it by 'official' max psi stamped on side of tank...this will give you the volume of gas in your tank.
For example: I have a LP 85 cu. ft. steel tank with a maximum official fill pressure of 2640 psi , that's actually filled to 3000 psi......how much gas is really in the tank?
85 X 3000
----------------------- = 96.6 cu. ft of gas
2640
...hope that helps........ Karl
